52 Small Changes Web Series: Week 2 – Creating a Bedtime Ritual

Welcome to the 52 Small Changes Web Series. This is where I take each weekly change I prescribe in the book and discuss my personal favorite tips or suggestions on how I like to make the change a reality. I encourage you to share your favorite tips in the comment section so that others can learn from you and what works for you in your life and personal situation.

This week’s video is specific to Week 2: Get Your Zzz’s! Sleep is extremely important to our overall wellbeing. It allows our bodies and minds to get the needed rest they need. Sleep is instrumental to our ability to function properly, to maintain a healthy metabolism, and to keep our immune system working optimally. Further, we look our best when we get proper sleep (“beauty rest” was coined for a good reason!).
